I'm a journalist at the New York Times.
I served in the Marine Corps as an infantryman.
When it comes to reporting on the front line, I think nothing is more important than talking to the people involved, you know, hearing their stories and being able to connect that with people thousands of miles away.
Anything that can make something like this more personal, I think is well worth the risk.

Today's Tuesday, October 29th.
Here's what we're covering.
U.S.
intelligence officials as well as tech companies and researchers tell the Times that efforts by Russia, Iran and China to interfere in the election are more sophisticated and harder to track than ever before.
The big concern isn't that foreign powers will be able to affect voting machines or vote counts.
Instead, they're trying to potentially spark chaos by spreading disinformation.
Back in 2016, that mostly looked like Russia posting on Facebook.
Now there have been Russian operatives pushing pro Trump messaging on Reddit.
There are hundreds of Chinese accounts on Telegram trying to rile up college students over the war in Gaza.
And Iran has created sites like one called Not Our War that's aimed at American veterans and filled with conspiracy theories and anti American content.
Experts say the efforts this election year show a much more nuanced understanding of American politics.
